rs2555364 CG (mixed possible)
rs16960620 AA (generally european)

Rs16891982
This snp influences skin pigmentation. The allele p.L374F indicates light-skinned european ancestry

(C;C) generally non-European, but if European, 7x more likely to have black hair
(C;G) 2 if European, 7x more likely to have black hair
(G;G) 0 generally European
